HAPPY THANKSGIVING:
I just want to take the time and say thank you to everyone for making Cannondaler a fun place to hangout. If it wasn't for your pictures, reviews, mods, suggestions, comments etc... this site would be one heck of a boring place. You have all done a great job in contributing and building this site and I look forward to helping you share your Cannondale info in the future. It's my wish that everyone has a great Thanksgiving Holiday with your families and are able to get some riding in and enjoy that awesome machine of yours. Take care and a big THANK YOU! Jim Schneringer.

COUPLE MORE CANNONDALE CANNIBAL PICS:
Our bud, Jim Murray sent in a few pics of Joe William's Cannibal. Check'em out in our Gallery. Thanks Jim! And for the rest of you, keep them pics coming guys!

MADE A FEW UPDATES TO THE SITE:
I have dumped the webpage based classifieds for the forum type classifieds. This will be a lot easier to manage and more user friendly for everyone. Next thing, I had an extra Quad airfilter thanks to No-Toil so I'm looking to give it away to the best Cannondale Quad Review. So far we only have one review so your odds are pretty good at winning. Checkout the contest in our forums. Lastly, I'm always looking for new ideas or better way to do things around here. Please leave your input in the suggestion box in our forums. Good or Bad I'd love to hear from you. Take Care! Jim

WE GET OUR FIRST QUAD REVIEW:
If you think buying a Cannondale is buying American then how about buying three? Mufflerman not only has an E440, but he got an '03 Cannibal for his wife and gives us a little mini first impression of it. Oh! And what is the third Dale? His cousin went all out and got an '03 Moto440. Now there is buying American. keep them reviews coming guys and gals!

CANNONDALER NEEDS YOUR QUAD REVIEWS!:
Our Quad review section is looking pretty weak. I have had a few requests for Quad reviews so if you own a Quad send in a few quality reviews and help out these poor folks looking for info. Plus I'm curious to see if some of the issues you are having with your Quads are the same ones the dirtbike guys are having. Like how do you wipe the grin off your face. :D
(email in your reviews and pics too!)
ADDED 8 MODIFIED QUAD ENGINE MAPS TO OUR DOWNLOAD AREA:
A couple Quad guys sent in some serious custom Quad maps that make your Quad come alive at certain rpms. Better descriptions of each map will be available soon. Check them out and let me know how they work for you.

THE BUGMAN GIVES US HIS FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF HIS '03 X440:
Ralph takes his brand spanking new 2003 Cannondale X440 for it's break in rides and lets us know what he likes and dislikes about his X. Trust me the dislikes are minor! Ralph adds to the gang that says these new X's feel lighter. Now if somebody would just give me a true weight figure on these new X's I'd be happy. Great write-up Ralph! And don't forget to check out Ralph's Read2Race program.

CANNONDALER Q&A WITH JIM HAZEN OF OPTIMUM:
Jim Hazen of Optimum Power Technology, the makers of the GP Control Software and Kits for Cannondale Motorsports has agreed to an email interview with Cannondaler. In the interview he gives us a great overview of Optimum Power, the company, and it's operations. He also gives us some insight into why fuel injection is a great thing to have in an off-road vehicle. It's a lenghty interview and I'm sure there are a bunch more questions that could have been asked. Just the same, I think you will enjoy it.

MICHAEL DAY "XR RIDER" SENDS IN OVER A DOZEN PICTURES:
The first 8 pics are of the Elsinore GP held Nov. 9th and 10th. Mike snapped a couple pics of the Cannondale Rep Jason Baldwin who had a 1st and a 2nd in two events, a pic of an unknown Dale rider, and a couple shots of our bud Kevin Beach. Also, Mike sent in 6 pictures of himself and his rig. We will see if you recognize the bike and I must warn you, the shots of Mike's broken wrist might make you squeamish. Thanks for all the pics Mike!! Take care of that wrist.

BIG UPDATE TO CANNONDALER:
This place is getting so busy I need to try to make it easier to handle everything. First off I added a new Gallery for pictures. The Picture Gallery has a lot of cool features like adding comments, slideshow, and even allows you to upload jpegs of your own directly into a photo album. Secondly, I added forums to help ease questions about Cannondaler and such. I have even included a section for our Quad friends, the Supermoto S440, and other Cannondale Motorsports. And speaking of Quads, we now have an area for you Quad guys to add reviews. I think it would benefit both Dirtbikers and the Quad guys to hear each others reviews because our rigs are based on the same engine and ECU technology. Lastly, a huge thanks goes out to all those who have contributed to the site. The more you contribute the easier it is for everyone to find what they are looking for and make our lives easier. More updates to the site to come so take Cannondaler for a spin and let me know what you think about it. Also if you find any broken links or whatever, please let me know. Big THANKS! And ENJOY!

KEVIN BEACH SENDS IN ANOTHER REVIEW OF HIS '03 X440:
I always said the cannondales surprise owners and make them ride much faster than they usually do. With that in mind, Kevin gives us a race review with an interesting twist.
